No Backlight, no picture, has sound Can't Post

I have a Samsung UN50EH5000FXZA tv and the picture went out. I did some research but need to figure what part to replace. I did flashlight check and I cant see any picture or with the back off there is no leds working. With all the searching I cant figure if it is the T-Con board, Power Board or the main board. Thanks.

Disconnect cable from Main to Power/LED drive board and see if the Backlights turn on (and stay on).
IF they don't, redo the flashlight test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUzCLgoSPGM

When you say NO LEDs are working, you are examining Each & Every Individual LED on every strip?

No LED's are working and I can see things on the flashlight check. So I believe no backlight.

Defective LED(s) on one (or more) strips.

In your case, it's probably best to replace ALL strips with New ones.

(Careful! Don't break anything while disassembling or reassembling.)

According to the video you sent it is pointing to the power supply, I ordered that and the t=con, we will see when the parts arrive.

It took you one day and two tries to perform the flashlight test correctly.

Many, but not all, Samsung models had the backlight testing feature (Unplug the Main to PS/LED Driver board cable at either end and the LEDS should light (and stay lit).)
It is possible that the LEDs failing may have also taken out the PS/LED Driver board, but your real problem is LED bulb related.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samsung TVs of this model's vintage were shipped with the Back Light Intensity at Maximum to produce a vivid picture. Samsung never informed the purchasers that running the TV with the back lights at maximum would affect the longevity of the individual LED bulb(s) causing them to fail prematurely.

Using the flashlight test, get to the LED backlight Intensity control in the Customer Menu and see where it is set.

Yes it took 2 tries, this is not what I usually work on, and took me a bit to reply due to working 12hr day. I think the first try failed because it was to bright and the flashlight had a to wide beam.


I watched your YouTube video and I bought a power supply and it fixed it, now good picture again. I will get on the menu and turn down the backlight some to save the led's.


Just a question, is there a way without taking the tv all the way apart to see if all the leds are working?


Thanks for all the help.

Well that lasted exactly one week, back to the same thing. Could something else be burning the power supply out?Mad
